Founded in 1986 by Orna & Isaac Levy, Yvel continues a century old family tradition of creating equistie top of the range jewelry designs featuring pearls and gold in different colors.Pearls are the central focus of all Yvel jewelry designs by Isaac Levy, “I enjoy designing with pearls because they represent one of nature’s loveliest creations and are very much in fashion. Pearls are also ultra-feminine, in fact worn almost exclusively by women.”

Yvel specializes in three categories of jewelry design. First is the creation of pearl jewelry with 18 karat yellow and white gold combined with white, black and golden South Sea pearls, set with diamonds, precious and semi-precious colored stones. This is the most traditional of the Yvel lines, encompassing exquisite necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. Another specialty is diamond jewelry that combines platinum and 18 karat gold with special diamonds. Finally, Yvel is known for lovely; loose South Sea pearl strands assembled for special orders in all colors.
